Filecard information:
COBRA NINJA VIPER
"He who masters the art of self discipline can crush any adversary, even G.I. Joe!"
Recruited from the highest ranks of Cobra's Viper Corps, the COBRA NINJA VIPERS are the elite representation of Cobra's new elevated level of ruthlessness. Only the most sinister and cunning Cobras are selected for duty as Ninja Vipers. Cobra Ninja Vipers are no less than 10th level black belts in karate, jujitsu and kung fu. These villains are extremely obedient and always carry out their orders to the letter. They function as covert subversives who can "persuade" any foe to do their bidding by entrapping the individual in one of their patented martial arts maneuvers. If given the opportunity, Cobra Ninja Vipers could wreak enough havoc worldwide to seriously damage G.I. Joe's global operations.

Of the three MISB Ninja Vipers we've come across, they all have the same "#12705.00 MADE IN CHINA" on the bag. Some came with the swords sealed in the bag with the figure, and others had the swords in a separate bag stapled onto the larger bag.
